Description
JOIN US . . .
Amid the soft glow of luminaries gracing the land of SkyRise Farm in Millerton, N.Y., please join FORM + LIGHT and FANCY FEAST SUPPER CLUB for a festive evening honoring the final Full Moon of the year and rising Solstice energies!
This enchanting experience is a wonderful way to welcome the season as we gather in nature, amid community, to bring light to the darkest stretch of days before the return of the Solstice Sun.
A roving celebration, a moveable feast, let us greet you with warming seasonal libations as we embark upon a meandering lantern walk to find the upper pond fully illuminated as the metaphorical Wheel of the Year. Here, Sarah will guide guests in a cedar ritual, cedar, a tree revered for holding the hope of light through the long of Winter. This unique moment allowing guests a collective breath of gratitude and reflection on the close of 2024 and 2025 calling.
We will return to the arched Haymow of the Black Barn, a stunning space pine draped and candle set, for an abundant supper thoughtfully dreamed by Leah as a sampling of global Solstice traditions steeped in meanings which she will be generously sharing. The evening will close sweetly with Yule inspired desserts and eggnog fireside before bidding each other goodnight.
Come as you are, come as a couple, or come with friends bundled in your Winter’s best for an evening of unforgettable beauty and connection!
